Health Forms and Medications
Camp Juliette Low has a modern, well-equipped Infirmary, staffed by licensed registered nurses or physicians who live in the Infirmary and are on-call 24 hours a day. All girls check in daily with the nurse, even if it's to tell her how great they feel. Most of our Infirmary visits are for very minor conditions and are treated at camp. If the service of a local doctor is necessary, the parents concerned are responsible for the medical expenses.
Health Forms
Health forms are mandatory. We require that all completed health forms be turned into the camp Infirmary no later than opening day so that the best possible care may be given to your daughter while at camp. A doctor's signature for the current year must be on the health form that is filled out by the camper's doctor (see below).
We would like to receive your camper’s health forms at least two weeks before she arrives at CJL. You can scan and email them to info@CJL.org, or you can mail or fax them to us. Of course, we will also accept them on opening day, but we appreciate your effort to get them to us beforehand!
If you send your health forms by mail or fax before May 20, please send them to our winter office (PO Box 5113, Marietta, GA 30061 / fax: 770-428-1302). If you send your forms after May 20, please send them to the summer office (321 Camp Juliette Low Road, Cloudland, GA 30731 / fax: 770-428-1302).

Medications
All non-rescue medications are held in the Infirmary and dispensed by the camp nurse (RN or licensed physician). Upon arrival at camp, please give any medications or supplements needed by your daughter to the camp nurse. She will be responsible for making sure your daughter receives her medication as prescribed. If your daughter's medication dosage has changed within two weeks before arriving at camp, please make certain the nurse is made aware of this. We are aware that older campers are capable of regulating their own medication; however, due to liability factors, all medications must be dispensed through our Infirmary.
Common medications, such as pain relievers and antihistamines (a full list is on our health forms), are stocked in our Infirmary and dispensed by the camp nurse as needed. Therefore, it is not necessary to bring these types of medications to camp.
Blister Packs and Labeling Requirements
To improve the efficiency and accuracy of administering medication at camp, Camp Juliette Low requires that all prescription and over-the-counter oral medications that are taken daily be supplied in unit-dose (blister pack) containers labeled with the camper’s name and the time of administration. This includes all medications and vitamin supplements.
Most pharmacies can dispense medications in blister packs; some will repackage existing medications, but please check with your pharmacy for specifics. Some blister packed medications have short expirations, so check with your pharmacy to see when you should pick up your medication. Please bring only enough for your camper’s stay at camp.
Non-pill medications like inhalers, creams, ointments, epi-pens, and liquids can be in their original packaging, but must be individually labeled with the pharmacy prescription label.
Emergency Contact
You will be the first person contacted by the camp if outside medical attention is needed for your daughter.
We would appreciate having a good contact person other than the camper's parents. If for some reason you can not be reached, we will then try to reach the emergency contact listed on the application form. Any medical expenses will be filed with your insurance at the doctor's office or hospital if possible, but i the instance that this is not possible, or there are additional charges, they will go on your daughter's Trading Post account.
